EnCana / Cenovus – Pure Play Natural Gas Strategy to Pay Off Well

December 1st, 2009

Since its formation in 2002, EnCana has struggled to differentiate its two core assets. That struggle has especially hurt its oilsands interests, and has resulted in a share price that underperformed rivals. We believe the spinoff event will act as a positive catalyst enhancing shareholders value. We have an Absolute Buy rating on the parent (EnCana) and Buy rating on the Spinoff entity (Cenovus). Also an earlier Spinoff transaction of a Canadian company “Bankers Petroleum” operating in Oil & Gas sector which was done with a similar Spinoff rationale has performed exceedingly well. The Bankers Petroleum stock on which we had an Absolute Buy rating has generated 507% return since YTD. When we draw a parallel between the two spinoff stories, we are confident that this spinoff will also add value to shareholders.

LMC (Entertainment) Split-Off: Games People Play

November 19th, 2009

Value discovery is a favorite play of management and this Split-Off primarily allows the market to value the entertainment assets more fairly. But the real benefit of the transaction would accrue to Mr. Malone, who will enjoy more voting power over DIRECTV, once the merger goes through. The transaction benefits him in two ways: More voting rights in DTV and value enhancement of his stake. Still, the transaction is beneficial to all stakeholders and we recommend a BUY.
